Roman replica chariot pulled by tortoise

It wasn't uncommon for children to play in carts pulled by dogs or goats in the early 1900s, but we haven't seen too many tortoise-powered vehicles. In fact, this would have to be the only one we've come across. Not only is this baby being tugged by a tortoise, but they're also in a Roman replica chariot, no less. The photo is held by the State Library of Queensland and unfortunately comes with no backstory and no context. All we know is that the photo was taken some time around 1920 and that someone clearly put a lot of effort into this contraption. [State Library of Queensland]
